Forgiveness, Let God do it through you

Lord one of my problems is letting things go.
When I've been wronged by people I know.
Your word tells me that I am to forgive.
Because that is how you expect us to live.
This is easier said than it is to be done.
Once the wounding from others have begun.
It amazes me how little fellow humans will care.
When they have treated other people unfair.
Is it possible that both sides are wrong?
I am too sensitive. They come on too strong?
You say not to follow the path that others do.
God you are All-Wise so I'll trust and follow you.
Dear Lord, I'm asking if you'd please be so kind.
To help me change my habits and renew my mind?
I've let the actions of others get the best of me.
How to pay them back at times is all I can see.
Lord you know my thoughts, so I'm saying  what's true.
Cause me to forgive others in my heart like you do.
This is not how you created me or them to be.
I believe & know you can truly bring change within me.
Help me think as you do, let me not be the same.
I make this request of you in my Lord Jesus's name!
AMAZING! as I'm writing this, you are speaking to me!
I will go look up right now Ephesians Four, one thru three?
Be humble, meek and patient is what the verse say.
Make every effort to be this way each day.
Lord, I know I can't possibly do this without you.
But you did this with the cross, it's the least I can do.
To my children and grandchildren, talk to God at all times.
Tell Him your thoughts and problems, He'll speak to you mind.
Most times for me he answers with a verse from his book.
My heart seems to know it's Him as soon as I look.
I'm no saint. grandpa messes up daily, this I can't deny.
But God will make himself known to those willing to try.
Get up at 3 am, it will show Him you care.
In some way or somehow, he'll let you know He's there.
Have a notepad and bible there is what you should do.
Ask "Lord, please speak?" then write thoughts that come to you.
All throughout the day earthly things have our minds.
Try giving it to God first each day the same time!
Churches push tithing and that just is not true.
God doesn't need money, what He wants is me and you!!!
